    I don't recommend dips at ay age. The modern products such as Revolution, Advantage, Contact, Program, etc. are more effective. Some of them are safe to start at 6 weeks. Ask your vet. If the puppy already has fleas, some of the flea sprays are safe, or at least spray a towel and wrap the puppy in it. You may also need to treat your house and yard. Flea infestations are hard to clear up.

    No, it contains lactose which the puppy can't digest. Feed it some chicken and rice as below if you have it. Get it on a commercial puppy chow as soon as you can.

    If a dog is having trouble keeping anything down or continuing diarrhea try this out of the manual I have from a large, knowledgeable dog guide school.

    Bland recovery diet for dogs.

    3 parts cooked rice, one part boiled hamburger or chicken, or cottage cheese. I think you can substitute boiled potatoes for the rice. Once in an emergency, we bought a plain baked potato from Wendy's.

    This is meant for short time settling a dog's digestive tract. It is not the complete and balanced diet they need long term. I have seen it work.

Our Lhasa is now 10 months old. As a puppy we have had food available pretty much at all times, but maybe he's getting past that now, and for his weight should maybe only be fed about a cup to a cup and a half of his dog meal a day. We have been using Wysong, by the way, and it seems to have a...
